AWC added, “Our leaders have been making mockery of governance and certainly we cannot continue like this”.

” Our country has been drifting and our people visited with pains, hunger, hardship and suicide. Our government is not helping matters, it has been anti people policies all the way and bad governance everywhere”
It stressed further, “Our people have lost hope in the system. All our able-bodied citizens are either leaving or planning to leave the country. Our people are being daily strangled by bad governance. Our government keep telling us the same old story.
” While the mass majority of our people pass through hardship, our rulers and a very few are immersed in unimaginable wealth and wastage of national resources. Virtually all state governors in Nigeria are trillionaires.
” There is so much wealth in the hands of a few while the mass majority remains poor,” adding, ” Unemployment is massive, salaries and pensions are poor, businesses are folding up and investors are running away from Nigeria. Everybody is just tired of the situation”. It stressed.
